The San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium believes that everyone has the right to be clean so
we're supporting the launch of a new non-profit mobile shower service for the
homeless in San Francisco: Lava Mae.
When showers and access to sanitation are limited, homeless people are forced to wash in public sinks, outdoor
faucets, or not at all. As a result,
they suffer from alienation and preventable diseases like scabies, lice, bed
bugs and staph infections.

For more information on this innovative project (our own Director of Community Services, Beth
Rittenhouse-Dhesi, is on Lava Mae’s Advisory Committee!) please visit their website www.lavamae.org
